Vault Verdict
Epsilon Economics and Life Sciences’ strong reputation and deep commitment to work-life balance makes it an intriguing proposition for anyone considering a career at the intersection of life sciences and economics. Insiders value their firm’s intellectual culture and opportunities to work with premier clients—benefits of working at a smaller firm that are offset to some degree by limited support structures and the pressure of time-sensitive engagements.
The firm prides itself on its collegial atmosphere, fair and performance-based compensation, and a progressive approach to work-life balance, exemplified by its unlimited paid time off policy.
About the Company
A well-known economics and litigation consulting firm, Epsilon Economics and Life Sciences has two separate but connected business units: one in economics and one in life sciences.
Within its economics unit, the company provides specialist services related to life sciences—specifically around economic analyses related to business and litigation issues—as well as high tech, competition and antitrust, intellectual property, finance and valuation, and transfer pricing.
The firm’s nascent life sciences unit, meanwhile, provides services related to disputes and litigation, internal and external investigations (including governmental), strategy, and compliance.
